This season, let love reign supreme in my The Mauritshuis collection. For this splendid set I was inspired by the magnificent façade of the Mauritshuis, a Golden Age architectural marvel with royal lions. I chose a gorgeous, royal blue fabric and added luscious, curly lace with dotted piping and a delicate overlay of netting. Rock this royal look and dare to impress!

The embroidery applications have to match the cup perfectly, therefore a different embroidery application is used for every shape and cup size. To ensure the perfect fit, the dotted strap on the top of the cup needs to be attached in the exact right angle. The hand-cut lace is made from a delicate and soft type of lace, to avoid any irritation to the skin. It is then sewn to the cup by hand.

Mary Boleyn - lover and survivor

the mauritshuis maritime blue lingerie fw18 get informed

She is mostly known as ‘that other Boleyn Girl’ or ‘the Mistress of Kings’. But I see Mary Boleyn (1499/1500 – 1543) as a woman who dared to defy all the rules to follow her heart. In other words, a historical heroine in her own right. Born in Norfolk into the wealthy, influential Boleyn family, Mary was sent to the French court at an early age to become a lady-in-waiting. After an affair with the king of France, who later called her ‘The Great Prostitute’ in a disturbing expression of ‘slut-shaming’ avant la lettre, she returned to England where soon, she would catch the eye of the flamboyant King Henry VIII. Another royal affair began. At this point, you may wonder: was Mary merely a pawn in an elaborate French and English court intrigue? Or was she a sexually liberated woman with a ‘scarlet’ reputation? We will never know, but some clue to her character may be found in something incredibly brave she did in 1534.
